Hello, this is my first E30, I was looking for daily driver, but i saw this car and something in me made me buy it, it has everything I wanted on a car. but the actual state of the car made it to unreliable for a dd, so I bought newer car and made the e30 my project. I want to have it close to original with some things improved (I don't know yet, but looking around the forums it has given me some great ideas).
You can see the crappy paint, in the future I want to paint it same color.
the interior is not so bad, I fixed the odometer gears, the window switches and I got a new obc, need to clean the carpet because it has oil stains ( btw I already changed that horrible shifter knob, i will post more newer pictures later)
the previous pictures are from last year, I stopped working on my car because i have been too busy from work. but i just started working on the car again, i changed the rear shock and mounts because they were shot
I tried to change the front ones but i broke the 2 wheel bolts, so i'm planing on changing them to studs, also rebuilding the brake calipers and getting steel braided lines, so i'm holding on until i get all the parts.
while i'm waiting for parts i changed the valve cover gasket and cleaned and painted the cover.
That's all for now, hopefully I can get everything to do the brakes and front struts at the beginning of December, or ill use some vacation days around Christmas to finish that,
later I want to get new tires, new battery, oil change, timing belt and start working on exterior, getting a new valance and remove all the peeling clear coat.
